Isle of Wight, Island county in South England
The Isle of Wight extends across 348 square kilometers in the English Channel, featuring coastal cliffs, sandy beaches, and rolling green hills.
Queen Victoria established her summer residence at Osborne House in 1845, transforming the island into a prominent retreat for European nobility.
The annual Isle of Wight Festival draws international music performers and thousands of attendees to the island for multiple days of performances.
Regular ferry services connect the mainland ports of Southampton and Portsmouth to the island towns of Cowes, Ryde, and Yarmouth.
The island contains substantial dinosaur fossil deposits from the Cretaceous period, leading to the discovery of multiple new species.
